Agitated man spits on Saanich cop, attempts to bite another

A Saanich man attempted to bite a police officer and then spat in the face of another after he instigated two public drunken disturbances in a span of two hours.

Sidney North Saanich RCMP first responded to the Mary Winspear Centre in Sidney around 1 a.m. on Sunday (Sept. 2) after a fight broke out at a wedding reception. The 28-year-old Saanich man was identified as being involved.

Just as RCMP were beginning their investigation, a vehicle pulled up, the man jumped in and left the scene. He left, in RCMP possession, his photo identification and cellphone.
